I just got divorced a couple of months ago. Our relationship soured after i stoped going to meetings, and unfourtunatly I am now back among the single after 5 years.

i recently started talking to a "worldly girl" and it is so diffrent and hard trying to explane all the bull shite that i was brought up with. Does this get easier? I almost wish that there was a web site for ex wittnesses. Around her friends I am know as the "wittness"......I hate this. but its better then actualy being one.

I hate that a religion has so much influence in my life.... but I can only hope that bigger things are out there for me. Thanks for letting me vent. 32 ,divorced, and lovin it... thats the new attitude... oh.. and sexy of course

Guards at Stadium Conventions during Song and Prayer

by VM44 in

friends

when did the wt start having guards come out during the song and prayer at stadium conventions?

i noticed this at a convention in san diego, right before the song begins, a bunch of "brothers" come out and stand at key positions facing the seats, and scan the audience!

they remain until after the prayer, and they do not bow their heads during the prayer, but keep scanning the audience.

woody02302

Come on everybody, you need guards of some kind at these events. As much as all of us may hate going, there are some who would not want there program to be interupted. And 2 years ago i was one of those security fags, and we actually had a woman almost get raped and if it was not for the security then it could have been real bad. So just stop the hate... all that hate...some of you need help

"This Good News of the Kingdom" is NOT Jesus' Gospel

by Farkel in

the wts and dubs like to brag that, unlike all other religions, they are the only people preaching the truth about "this good news of the kingdom" on earth.

they claim that their most important purpose in life and as dubs is to preach that good news.. .

they use their favorite verses in matthew 24:14 and revelation 21:3,4 to describe what that "good news of the kingdom" means.

why is everyone so afraid?

by woody02302 in

i am new to this forum, and so far all i read is how we all hide from the wittnesses we now, or don't answer the phone, or walk the other way when they walk down the street.

to tell you a little about myself, i grew up a j.w, i was married when i was 21. my first wife was abused by a brother in her hall for years.

we were married for about a year , when one day i got a phone call from a man at the watchtower and track society.

woody02302

Gumby....the brother was oked to become one. He had noved far away from the area. so when this appoinment came up, it was found in his records. I cant answer why they called us...but on my life it is the absoulut truth.

I don't kmow if you remember about 2 years ago the society sent out a letter to all cong. stating that if you have EVER been a abuser you could NEVER have any position in the hall. NONE. My wife saying yes was a quick decsion, thats why she changed her mind. note...the society only sent that letter a week after the dateline tv special called them on it...not before
